Well, my laptop bit the dust for good. Naturally it was after I paid for the repair. Not a big deal when you see all the trouble in the world. It does mean I'm again limited on computer time until I get my new one.
When I saw the theme for ITP LFF was framed sentiments, it made me think of the PTI set called Fancy Foliage. Each sentiment comes framed with little leaves.
I used the Happy Birthday to make a very CAS, one layer card using a PTI die cut scalloped card sent to me by a friend. I stamped in Ocean Tides several times for a deep color & then in Versamark so I could heat emboss with HA Sparkle powder--so pretty in real life.
I also brushed on Ocean Tides in the center, getting lighter toward the edges. Not quite enough sparkle to suit me, so I used a clear sparkle pen on all the leaves. I'm also entering AAA & SSS Wednesday

Understated elegance Greta. So sorry about your lappy, only when we are without a computer do we realise just how reliant we are on them.

super sweet Greta. A very elegant card. You'll enjoy getting a new laptop.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute with the scalloped card. It's clean and crisp. I like the little leaves that adorn the greeting. Laptops have a way of dying in the most inopportune time. I hate that you paid for repairs and it still bit the dust.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the scallop card base and the ocean tides. I just hate computer problems - good luck with the new one!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love the CAS style. It gives me confidence to try something like that, if it will look as good as this.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the laptop, isn't funny how we miss it? Hope your new one comes along soon to keep you happy.

ReplyDeleteOh no! I am so sorry about your laptop... Hopefully you can replace it soon. This is one gorgeous CAS card and I love the framed sentiment! Thinking of you my friend...
ReplyDeleteAn elegant card with great use of background shading and such a sweet stamp. So sorry to hear about your laptop, especially as you had already paid for the repair.

ReplyDeleteWow.. that's a CAS beauty! The scallops are dressy enough for the whole card. Love how you brought the focus to the sentiment with a bit of colour. Thank you for joining us at the 5th Birthday party at AAA Cards. Hugs ~ Ishani
